Normally, when my guitars are playing well, sound good and all that I don't go poking around. I take them as is. For some reason, tho', I found myself looking the bracing just inside the soundhole underneath the neck on my new LV-03RE. It appears to be lopsided. I checked on my L-03E and it's symmetrical. Wonder if it's supposed to be this way due to the cutaway? Or .... what? Here's a pic.

Ah! That's a Vancouver made guitar. Larrivee lists the last year of production in Vancouver at 2013.

I don't think it's a 50th Anniversary model.

Yeah, I think you're right. Dang it. Looking back at the ad, it doesn't really say 50th Anni models. Just 50th Anni Sale Pricing. Think I got pulled into the hype. Hmmm .. oh well. It's still a great guitar, a bit different with the headstock inlay. And, it came stock with the arch top case. I'm happy. Even tho' it isn't a 50th. But hey, it's made in Canada, like my L-03!

Looks like you picked up a nos 2013 guitar?

Same for us, I was surprised when I checked the serial number of Marcia's new D-04, it was constructed almost 5 years earlier. The guitar is perfect and we are happy with it. Makes one wonder if ours sat in a back room room forgotten, or came from another store that did not get a lot of traffic. Ours is a lefty.

Mine is a Wildwoods custom order. Where'd you get yours? And yeah, I was quite surprised by the date. It was definitely "new" as in never sold. Like you and yours, I'm quite happy with it. Got a pic of the D-04?
